"90% of All Restaurants Go Bankrupt One Year After Being Sold." Here's How To Avoid the Mistakes Others Make

According to industry statistics, 90% of restaurants that change hands fail in the first year. There are a number of reasons why people fail:

Zero Restaurant Experience: Food service is a tough business. If you've never operated one before, there are a number of crucial things you need to know before jumping in and investing your money.

Poor Books and Records: Most restaurant owners do not maintain their books properly. While some buyers may like the allure of a cash business, if a seller cannot prove the financials, how do you know what you're really getting? Unless you understand how to uncover the real figures, you can run into a lot of trouble, especially if you believe the seller and don't properly investigate the figures.

Hidden Problems: Many restaurants for sale have secrets or hidden problems. You must learn what these are BEFORE you buy. There are over one hundred individual issues to review when buying a restaurant. You need to properly inspect the equipment, the menu, the traffic, roadside construction plans, the lease, potential health department issues, employee iinvestigations, customer counts, determine the real food costs, and on and on it goes! You can't let anything slip through the cracks.

Overpaying: Many inexperienced restaurant buyers grossly overpay for the business and soon discover that not only can't they make money, they're losing money every day. There are specific formulas you must use to accurately value a restaurant. Food, labor, and rent costs must all be in line. You need to follow these proven methods to be certain the business will be profitable.

If by some chance you've spent any time searching online restaurant businesses for sale, or even contacting business brokers, you should take a step back from whatever you've been doing so far, and carefully consider your next moves in order to do this the right way.

After all, if you're going to invest your money to buy a restaurant, shouldn't you first learn how to buy the right one?

Something To Consider

Is it possible for you to buy the right existing restaurant for sale at a great price without this knowledge? Perhaps; but why on Earth would you be willing to take that kind of risk?

Ask yourself, what's the downside? There isn't any; you have zero risk! Think about it: could we possibly offer this type of guarantee if our system doesn't work?
